Spray
Sold
To
Obscure
Photo
Radar
Tickets
It's
the
latest
tool
to
help
drivers
break
the
law
and
get
away
with
it
and
police
are
not
amused.
The
product
is
called
"photo
blocker."
When
the
clear
spray
is
applied
to
license
plates,
it
creates
a
glossy
finish
and
reflects
a
photo
radar
flash
so
the
numbers
become
fuzzy
or
washed
out
to
red
light
and
photo
radar
cameras,
the
manufacturer
says.
The
effect
is
similar
to
taking
a
flash
photograph
of
yourself
in
front
of
a
mirror.
The
product's
slogan
is
"Don't
let
them
take
your
cash
in
a
flash."
"It's
marketed
in
a
way
to
defeat
the
tools
that
we
put
in
place
for
traffic
safety,
and
in
that
case,
I
say
it
shouldn't
be
on
the
market
at
all,"
said
Illinois
State
Patrol's
Norman
Martin.
The
entrepreneurs
at
Phantom
Plate
said
that
they're
not
encouraging
motorists
to
break
the
law,
they
want
to
thwart
Big
Brother.
Right
now,
"photo
blocker"
is
perfectly
legal
but
some
states
are
working
to
change
that.
The
company
also
sells
a
plastic
plate
cover
that
makes
also
reading
the
plate
difficult.
